Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle:
Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance Chapter 6, Section 6.08.B.11
Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance Chapter 6, Section 6.08.D.1.c
Staff Summary (background):
This is a Zoning Ordinance text amendment that would extend the expiration dates on Commercial A-Frame
signs and for Banners for special sales events. This process has become an annual review as the permitted
usage of these types of signs has been expiring on Dec. 31st of each year since 2009.
The Planning & Zoning Commission is being requested to once again make recommendations regarding
extending the sunset provisions for an additional year. The attached draft Ordinance #15-12, if approved,
would extend the expiration date for A-Frame signs as well as Banners, Balloons and Pennants to December
31, 2016. Without an extension these signs may no longer be used after December 31, 2015.
'oth the Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Council expressed reservations in past years about
extending the expiration dates due to the non-compliance of a number of the businesses who use these types
of signage. Code Enforcement staff has provided a brief summary of the cases involving A-Frame Signs and/or
Page I of 2
Banners&A-Frames
2015-2016 Sunset Clause Extension
Banners in 2015 (attached). As may be seen, A-Frame sign violations have significantly declined from 86 in
2014 to 8 in 2015. The number of Banner violations however has not decreased. Banner violations have
'creased from 11 in 2014 to 20 in 2015.
The proposed amendments before you this evening are virtually the same as in previous years. Only changing
the expiration dates in the two sections of Chapter 6 of the Zoning Ordinance which include expiration dates of
December 31, 2015.
Section 6.08.B.11 of the Zoning Ordinance relates to the use of A-Frame signage and states that; "No
A-frame sign is permitted anywhere within the Town of Fountain Hills after December 31, 2 +5 2016."
Section 6.08.D.1.c of the Zoning Ordinance relates to the use of Banners and states; "On a recurring
basis with advance notification to the Town for not more than two periods of seven (7) consecutive days
per month. The provisions of this subsection 6.08(D) shall expire on December 31, 20-1-5 2016."
Risk Analysis (options or alternatives with implications):
Approval of this text amendment will extend the expiration date for A-Frame Signs and Banners for an
additional period of time.
Denial of this text amendment will require that the use of A-Frame Signs and Banners stop as of December 31,
2015.
Fiscal Impact (initial and ongoing costs; budget status): NA
Staff Recommendation(s):
Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission forward a recommendation that the Town Council
- prove the extension of the expiration date for A-Frame signs and event Banners for an additional year.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
Move to recommend that the Town Council approve Ordinance #15-04, a text amendment to Sections
6.08.B.11 and 6.08.D.1.c of the Fountain Hills Zoning Ordinance, extending the expiration dates for Banners
and A-Frame signs until December 31, 2016.

0• b MEMORANDUM
DATE: 11/30/2015
TO: Bob Rodgers
FROM: Roy Jaffe
SUBJECT: 2015 A-Frame and Banner Violations
From 01/01/2015 to date, there have been eight (8) documented A-frame sign violation
cases involving local businesses. This does not include real estate (open house) A-frame
sign violations, as those are in a separate category in the Ordinance.
There may have been other business A-frame violations, but they were either not reported
or not observed by Code Enforcement. Due to the portable nature of the signs, such
violations are often resolved prior to staff going out to the site to address the matter. The
change to the Ordinance ending the requirement to obtain an A-frame sign permit has
reduced the number of violations as well.
From 01/01/2015 to date, there have been twenty (20) documented business banner
violation cases. Eight (8) of those cases were for display of flag banners and two (2)
were for display of pennants. Such violations are generally easier to discover, as most
banners are left up for longer time periods.
During the Shea and Saguaro construction projects, the Town Manager (Ken Buchanan)
sent out a memo that was distributed to the business community, specifying that the
Town would relax the banner regulations. This action, which was taken in an effort to
compensate for the hardships created by the construction project, allowed businesses (that
front Shea or Saguaro) to each display one promotional banner on their respective
storefronts for the duration of the construction. After the construction was officially
complete, approximately 10 businesses needed to be reminded to remove their banners,
but all complied voluntarily.

EMORANDUM
DATE: March 5" 2015
FROM: Ken Buchanan, Town Managerg5
TO: Mayor & Town Council
SUBJECT: Banners or Businesses Adjacent to Saguaro Boulevard
During Construction
During road construction projects such as the Shea Blvd. Widening and the Saguaro Blvd.
Reconstruction the contractor is required to maintain reasonable access to local businesses.
While this is being done,many local businesses have requested the use of banners in addition to
the contractor's"business access" signage to let motorists and customers know that they are open
during construction. As such I m requesting that businesses be allowed to place banners on their
businesses or adjacent walls under the following conditions:
1. Business or plaza must directly front the overall construction zone(including Saguaro
Blvd. frontage road).
2. One Banner per business/building is permissible per business or plaza structure.
3. Banner may be utilized until substantial completion of the roadway construction
project.
4. Banner size and location must conform with the Zoning Ordinance 6.08, D to ensure
sight line traffic safety.
Please notify the Chamber of Commerce, Business Alliance and Fountain Hills Times of this
change to help promote businesses in Fountain Hills with access directly impacted by roadway
construction.

Presentation Notes ^
ORD #15-12 A-Frames & Banners
P&Z 12/10/2015
This is a public hearing for consideration of Ordinance #15-12, which consists of
text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance that will extend the expiration dates on
commercial A-Frame signs and also on Banners.
Section 6.08.B.11 relates to the sunset clause for the use of A-Frame signs.
Section 6.08.D.1.c relates to the sunset clause for the use of Banners.
Unless extended, these two sign types will no longer be permitted in Fountain Hills
after December 31 st. These signs have, since 2009, typically been given annual
extensions of their expiration dates.
This year's request is similar to past requests;
c1 one year extension of the expiration dates from 12/31/2015 to 12/31/2016.
You have been provided with a memo from Code Enforcement regarding
compliance during the past year.
There have been a "manageable" number of A-Frame violations this year.
Much better than in previous years.
Banner compliance however is gradually getting a little worse.
The numbers are still relatively low however and Code Enforcement should still be
able to keep it under control.
Staff does recommend that the P&Z Commission forward a recommendation to the
Town Council to approve Ordinance #15-12 and extend the expiration dates for one
year until Dec. 31, 2016.

Hi Paula,
I'll be in downtown Phx and won't be able to make it back to FH. So, I'd appreciate your calling me on my cell,
602 757 8585, so I can attend via conference call. I understand that you can also provide me with a back up # to
call you, yes?
Best regards,
Howie Jones
